Streacom was founded in the Netherlands back in 2010 and has since focused on developing high-quality aluminum enclosures, especially in the area of small form factor and passive cooling. Besides the highly successful Streacom DA2, the company also offers a completely different type of case. As part of the “Open Benchtable Project” [...]

It has been quite a while since Deepcool released the third version of its flagship air cooler. So it’s high time to add something to it. You could already admire it at exhibitions, but now it’s time for the real thing and my testbench. Is it possible to play at the top again with version 4? Click here for the review of the [...]
The Edifier M601DB 2.1 stereo speakers are a good example that appealing quality does not always have to be reflected in an exorbitant price. Equipped with several useful features and an acceptable sound quality, they are definitely an option for listening enthusiasts with a limited budget. You can read why I make slight restrictions at the [...]
Ok, 12 o’clock at noon and the hairstyle sits… With today’s photo series it’s off into the hot weekend! Have fun…
The be quiet! Dark Power 13 1000 W uses a high-end FSP platform that offers maximum efficiency, absolutely silent operation, and ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compatibility. We will test the large version today, because there is also the 750 watt variant and one with 850 watts besides the 1000 watt model. Already the 850 Watt is completely sufficient for [...]
We saw that the GeForce RTX 4060 8GB, including a non-functioning telemetry, consumes much more power in reality in the launch tests and with overclocking. Instead of the promised maximum power consumption of 115 watts in the spec sheet and a typical gaming value of 110 watts, it was a whopping 132 watts in some games and the average was still far [...]
In today’s workvlog, I’m once again presenting you with a themed build, this time aimed at elegance and sophistication. All you need is a dose of creativity and an inspiring idea. If you’ve been following my previous builds, you know that I’m always finding new ways and getting inspired by different sources like games or [...]
The king is dead, long live the king. Or the other way around: The findings of the last few months are finally taken seriously and the connector is modified, work is done on a new standardization and tests are carried out ad nauseam. The product is given a new name, although in the end it is only a further development that should have been [...]
Almost 12 years ago, EuP and ErP were on everyone’s doorstep, also in terms of power consumption in stand-by mode. That is why, as “Hilmar Brenninger”, I had more or less investigatively thrown myself into the turmoil and checked whether the current directives had actually arrived in the trade. And by the way: the Motherborads [...]
With Cooler Master, we have another player in the monitor market. And with the GP27U, Cooler Master is damn serious and goes “all in”. The UHD panel with 3840 x 2160p resolution comes with a refresh rate of 160 Hz. The panel itself comes from AU-Optronics – Fast IPS and Quantum Dot enhanced with 576 dimming zones and a mini-LED [...]
Yesterday we had the review of the MSRP cards, and today we mere mortals finally get to test the somewhat better cards. The fact that there was still a lot of room for improvement, without the test object having to drink itself to a cripple, shows once again that the “entry-level” models, which are sewn to the edge, should once again [...]
We are familiar with assisted living, which definitely has a deeper meaning. Assisted benchmarking, on the other hand, makes less sense. And I admit it, I was thoroughly pissed off after a few hand-picked noble influencers held hands with NVIDIA (and certainly against their better judgment) and delivered the ordered praise for a product that [...]
With the Dark Base Pro 901, BeQuiet! replaces the previous flagship Dark Base Pro 900. In order to not completely change the successful and very flexible DNA of the Dark Base series, mainly changes in detail were made besides the more modern look. Read our review to find out whether the noble case is convincing. Clever detail solutions have always [...]
The detailed test today is almost a little nostalgic for me, because many years ago the hobby of 3D printing began for me with a Creality Ender-3, the first model without any other additions behind the name. And I wasn’t alone in that; to this day, this model is probably one of the best-selling 3D printers in the world. Creality would [...]
Over 13 years ago, I was concerned with the elimination of 2D hardware acceleration in Windows Vista and XP and made no friends for life with the driver team at (then) ATI in Toronto. The good thing about the two articles that hit like a bomb back then is that both AMD and NVIDIA started reacting frantically back then and also took remedial action [...]
More than 13 years ago, I published two articles that dealt with the problem of the lack of 2D performance of ATI graphics cards in particular at that time and also shed more light on the background. Because the upheaval at that time was enormous: graphics cards with the Unified Shaders instead of special 2D hardware features, operating systems [...]
Raijintek’s products have always been able to shine with a very good price-performance ratio in recent years. No matter if it was cases, cooling solutions or fans, the testers always agreed that you get a lot of product for your money. Whether this is also the case with the Paean C7, you can read in the review. You can tell at first glance [...]
I had already tested the MSI SPATIUM M480 with 2TB capacity, just like the one with the “Play” in the name. Now MSI has relaunched this SSD – with a trendy “Pro” abbreviation in the name, but without a cooler and a 5-year warranty. The SPATIUM M480 and M480 Play are also a real head-turner, because the Phison PS5018 [...]
AMD is poking fun at the almost homeopathic memory expansion of the NVIDIA Ada mid-range, and NVIDIA feels secure enough with smart memory management, and in the end, the customer no longer knows what to buy. Although I do not question the issue of the too tightly measured memory expansion, because it is what it is and cannot be glossed over [...]
We recently wrote about the LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B in a detailed article, and I recommend it to those who already want to buy an OLED monitor. The OLED monitors are currently still quite expensive, but compared to some IPS or VA alternatives – especially the LG 27GR95QE – offers decisive advantages. Contrast and HDR gaming – [...]
